But you see, if you leak the money in monthly, it does not really matter how long it takes for the Naz to reach 5000 again, a lot of your buying would be under 2000 which will double if and when the naz comes back to 5000. Whether to include the QQQ or not is an interesting question, I would prefer the DIA and SPY, or just the SPY, but that is a separate issue. The QQQ would add some "zing" (it is almost double its bottom in 2002, but still 1/3 of its 120 top in 2000....

You have to also factor in dividends. If the dividends are decent enough, the price of the stocks wouldn't have to go up at all. So it might have taken decades for the stock prices to get above the 29 peak, but when you factor in the dividends, how long did it take to get back to break even?
